wilderworlds[.]app

PhishDestroy identifies wilderworlds.app as an active fake-giveaway phishing domain purporting to host a Wilder Worlds cryptocurrency prize draw. The site is currently serving a lure that claims users can win WLD tokens by connecting a wallet and completing a small “verification” transaction. Once the wallet is linked, the page requests a 0.05 ETH deposit to “unlock” a supposed 2 ETH prize pool; victims receive no payout and lose the deposited funds. The domain remains live and is being actively promoted through sponsored social-media ads and impersonation of the legitimate Wilder Worlds Discord server.

Technical indicators corroborate the threat: VirusTotal shows 0 detections out of 95 engines as of 2025-04-03, indicating a newly weaponized domain that has yet to be widely blacklisted. The domain resolves to IP 188.114.96.3, is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on 2026-03-31, and holds a valid Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate covering wilderworlds.app and www.wilderworlds.app. WHOIS data is redacted and privacy-protected, reducing transparency. Trust scores from Google Safe Browsing, PhishTank, and OpenPhish all register zero blocks at this time, placing the risk above the low-risk threshold.

The current status is ACTIVE PHISHING INFRASTRUCTURE, with no current blocklist presence. To protect users, PhishDestroy recommends blocking the IP 188.114.96.3 and the domain at DNS, gateway, and endpoint layers. Users who interacted should revoke wallet approvals immediately via tools like revoke.cash, transfer remaining funds to a new wallet, and file incident reports with their wallet providers and local cybercrime units. Security teams should deploy YARA rules matching the page’s JavaScript hashes and IOCs, and report the domain to VirusTotal, Google Safe Browsing, and NICENIC’s abuse contact to hasten remediation.
